    I'm betting on yes because how else could she "adapt" to the change???

    Nope. I did it without the adapter. That’s what made it so manly.

    I did something manly today. I cut my philtrum pretty badly while shaving with a shavette, and bled like a stuck pig.
    ...but this time I DIDN'T CRY!

    I ordered a 1/2" hammer drill to run off my portable propane-powered generator. Battery powered drills are too weak and lame for the job. My ordinary drill burned up the first time I tried to use it. I was drilling through thick creosote-soaked telephone poles. Because when I build a fence, I use sections of telephone poles as fence posts, instead of puny little sissy toothpicks from the local big-box or lumberyard. Fence-building takes a 22" chainsaw, a PTO-powered auger on the tractor, and a hammer drill. Paul Bunyan would be proud!

    I patched up an injured crossbow shooter.

    Okay Sara, that one is begging for details. Did he shoot himself in the foot?

    No, he didn’t load the crossbow correctly. Part of the loading mechanism snapped back and hit his nose & eye. I cleaned his face & bandaged his nose. Not much I could do for his eye- the lid was swollen. He went home to ice it. I hope there is no internal damage to the eye.

    Having some other issues that increase my risk for a detached retina, I discussed the warning signs with him, making it clear that such signs need urgent attention.

    I had to wrestle a woman, and arrest her, after she tried to stab her father, with a 9 inch carving knife. And that was the easy part of the day. There is a lot more to this, that is more interesting, but I cannot go into detail.

    Well I suppose there's something to be said for her having used the right knife.

    You lead an interesting life.

    I fired a crossbow & hit what I was aiming at. (A target)

    Don't worry @Sara-s, you're good. Never occurred to me you meant anything else.

    Used the dead-blow mallet to put a watertight lid onto a storage bucket (for my bonsai soil.). Those lids, quite understandably, fit very tightly & are hard to put on. I had to do this right-handed, but I got it done without having to ask anyone else for help.
